TONIDO
What is Tonido?
Tonido is a software and service that once installed on any computer (Windows, Linux or Mac), can make files and media in that computer available anywhere through a web browser or from mobile phones (iPhone, Android or Blackberry).
Tonido is a new way to share your files, media and other information with anyone around the world without having to upload to third-party sites first.
You download Tonido software, install it and then create a Tonido user account for that computer. You can now access the computer using the link http://accountname.tonidoid.com There is nothing else to setup or configure. It is that simple.
Tonido doesn't upload your data onto external servers, but instead provides direct access to data on your desktop.
- You have access to 100% of your files from anywhere.
- You don't need to upload any files. All your files are directly served from your machine.
- You don't have any storage limits. Your hard drive storage capacity is the limit.
- Importantly, data stays with you, providing complete privacy and control.
Tonido is easy to setup and does not require any network or router configuration to work.
- 1) Download and Install Tonido software on your computer.
- 2) Create a Tonido account. The account becomes part of the URL for your computer (http://username.tonidoid.com).
- 3) Use the new URL to remotely access or share your music, photos, calendar, files, and more from any computer or mobile phone.
- 4) To share a file or folder, just select a folder or file and select "Share". Tonido creates a web address (e.g. http://username.tonidoid.com/myfiles/file) for your folder. Just send the link to others and they'll be able to see and download the file.
